Hey, be kind to poor Don out there, the reflections in the chrome can be
easily mistaken for a misshapen substrate.
photographing a really reflective surface can be quite daunting as you are not dealing only with what is in the frame but everything behind you
including yourself- i have to do mirrors occasionally. this one is not
to bad, but the image of the chrome Herse that the photographer who did Jan's book (The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles) performed a really stellar job. I would have liked to hang around that photoshoot.
